Hard to find a good agent in Chattanooga!

[Matthew Swearingen]

I'm looking to buy a couple income properties in Chattanooga. Im reading that zips in or around 37404 are ideal. Ridgedale possibly?

Was working with someone I thought was an agent but is an associate. I used to be an agent, so I'm well versed in what info I need to make an informed decision. I had the associate (not an agent) give me CMA on homes that, in regard to my subject property, was over 600 sq feet larger. I typically with do 100 sq/ft +/- within 1/4 or 1/8 mile (seems Chatt can vary greatly just crossing over 2 blocks). I like to see DOM, previous sales history, rental rates, etc,. The associate gave me a CMA for a rehab that needed to be gutted with 15 comps and then says its junk. What the point was I'm not sure so I looked looked her up and not licensed! Suggestions guys and gals? Called a couple agents that want to steer me towards $300k homes. C'mon aint for first time doing this. Just want a hard working honest "agent." I'll be out there April 3rd.
